At the SSS (Support, Sympathy and Solidarity) Candlelight Vigil for DAP MP for Seputeh Teresa Kok demanding her immediate release from Internal Security Act held at Ipoh Timor Garden East, Ipoh on Thursday, 18th September 2008 – the eve of Teresa’s seven-day incarceration – I said that a key MCA operative in Puchong had lodged a police report making false allegations against Teresa over the azan controversy on Thursday, 11th September 2008, which triggered her ISA detention the next day on Sept. 12 at 11.18 pm.
I repeated this the next day at Teresa’s media conference on her ISA release at DAP PJ hqrs the next day at 3.30 pm.
Is or was the “key MCA operative in Puchong” a MCA member? Let MCA leaders tell Malaysians.
Suddenly, MCA leaders like its vice president Datuk Ong Tee Keat have become very bold and courageous in throwing challenges wanting me to prove that “police reports lodged by members of an MCA division in Selangor had led to the detention of DAP’s Seputeh MP Teresa Kok under the Internal Security Act (ISA)”. (New Straits Times online)
But not a bleat from them when Home Minister, Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar virtually told them to shut up and declared that there is not going to be any repeal or review of the ISA.
The MCA Central Committee met on Tuesday, 16th September 2008 and called for “a comprehensive review of the ISA so that it will apply strictly to cases relating to terrorism and subversive elements”.
Why didn’t the four MCA Ministers formally table this proposal at the Cabinet meeting the next day on Wednesday, 17th September 2008?
Are the MCA leaders just playing to the gallery in making public calls for the “comprehensive review” of the ISA, just for newspaper publicity but which MCA Ministers have neither intention nor political courage to pursue in Cabinet as a fundamental matter of principle?
MCA leaders are trying to raise a hue-and-cry over the identity over the “MCA operative in Puchong” whose police report one day earlier had triggered off Teresa Kok’s ISA detention.
Teresa had already revealed the identity of the “MCA operative in Puchong” concerned at the KL-Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall on the occasionn of the “head-shaving protest” by 18 justice-and-freedom-loving Malaysians expressing their outrage at the unjust, undemocratic and unlawful detention of Malaysia’s most famous blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin, the Hindraf 5 and other detainees under the Internal Security Act.
The ball is now in the court of the “bold and courageous” MCA leaders.

Uncle kit,
OTK wanted you to apologise on this issue. Let me remind him that he did not make any apology when he made a false accusation that you have never visited PKFZ and lodge any police report on that scandal.
I think he is just trying to get some publicity by going head to head with you since he is contesting for the MCA president post.

And what do we get so far is a lousy 17796 signatures to protest his detention under ISA. What a crying shame!

MCA only dare to make noise behind their masters’ back but in front of their masters they are as quiet as church mice or only dare to say Yes Sir! Thank you Sir!
If MCA is genuine, they should bring up the ISA matter in the Cabinet and Parliament. Since they dare not squeek in the Cabinet will we see them bring it up in Parliament? Don’t hold your breath on this.
Shame on MCA and Ong Tee Keat, making noise for the sake of publicity but not daring to take any real action. But these people may already be shameless.

Ever own a dog? Ever seen how the dog behaves when the owner neglects it? The dog might just bark to show displeasure and to get attention but the moment the ever-busy master that is now embroiled in a family crisis shouts ‘sit boy, sit’, this dog will immediately sit!
This dog is just trying to show that it is a loyal dog, so that the people around will praise its worthiness as a dog. This dog has much to lose, in fact, everything. That’s because like a caged bird, all this dog knows is that its meals are served, at the pleasure of its master. And hey, this dog eats sumptuous meals and without this master, it will only eat bones like the rest. A pariah dog, it is still the king of the pariahs!
So, to expect this dog to bark at its master when its master tells it to ‘roll over and play dead’? Not a chance! Its eyes are fixed on the huge ‘dog-food-bowl’. It ain’t allowing it to be broken! For that, serving its own selfish self, it will continue to play fetch, lick its master’s toes and to sniff its master’s stinking arse too.
And oh, the master has castrated this pariah pundek dog. Hence, does one really think that this super pariah pundek dog has the balls to face this challenge?
Before I go, be told that Negarakuku’s Namewee has an appointment with Bukit Aman. All the best to him.
#12 by Bigjoe on Monday, 22 September 2008 - 8:47 am
OTK splitting hair whether the MCA operative had a small or big role in the police report is indicative of what kind of future leadership the MCA is going to be. He will talk a lot in public but in private you can expect not much will happen. In other words they will play up public sentiment but will not lead.
So why do we need the MCA for if they don’t lead?

MCA must ask themselves, why for 51 years they have not done anything creditable, do they expect the public to believe them now.
They cannot dare even to take on the incompetent botak Hamid, when insulted by him, what more is there to conclude of their sincerity. Let us move on and forget about them.

seriously syed albar should look into this and have the ministry sue her for tarnishing the country image. is not her to equate the food serve to detainee as “dog’s” food…. is damn disgracing…..

Melurian posted that Teresa Kok tarnished the country’s image with her comments about dog food. It never crossed his thick skull that the country’s image is already down the drain with the draconian ISA laws being used to arrest folks for their own “protection” and based on baseless allegations.

Dear Uncle Kit,
If my memory serves me right, after being appointed as the Transport Minister, OTK said that “There won’t just be a single statement for the PKFZ scandal”.
Perhaps it is time that you follow up with him on this issue to find out whether he still has the guts to reveal the details of this BIG SCANDAL!!!
#25 by End Racial Discrimination. on Monday, 22 September 2008 - 10:49 am
MCA should know by today that their position in UMNO led BN is only to split the Chinese votes and strenght.
For example: MCA’s call for Ahmad Ismail’s to opologies for his racial satatement end up futile as Ahmad did not opologies nor was he punished in any serious manner.
MCA’s call for ISA to be abolished is again not being taken into notice.
If MCA is really caring for the Rakyat, I suggest they join DAP, at least they can voice out for the rakyat openly on issues like racial descriminations which until today, is still openly practised by UMNO.

Melurian do you know how to read English, she says “like dog food”. Maybe taste or quality and not DOG Food per say.
And you surely are unaware about the supplies that the Malaysia prison buy. I am awre of the food supply chain industries. Not to mentioning the frozen sea food supplier’s name. They most supply to 3 categores of customer. 1. Restaurants. 2. Wholesalers. 3. Contract supplier to prison. And I know for a fact that no sea food/fish is thrown away as expired. Go Figure!

Anwar Ibrahim, with historical records testifying to his backache, was treated like a dog when he was forced to sleep on the floor during his last arrest!
who says this gov treats detainees as humans?
when it comes to food, let’s talk dog food. yes, dog owners buy a ‘special’ grade of rice to feed dogs. and that only dog owners will knowlah. to those who don’t own dogs because of ‘haram punya pasal’, no comment.
what grade of rice is used by the gomen to feed detainees? definitely not AAA super siam lah. if hotels are measured in stars, prison cells measuring maybe 6×8 or 6×6 are of course measured in the number of moons……..
my pet dog lives in a cage measruing 4×6! big enough so that when anwar ibrahim becomes prime minister and pakatan rakyat rules the nation, this 5-moon hotel room is open for reservations to BN tourists called running dogs, lapdogs and poodles …. who need a lodge while seeking new master lah…

If MCA is so GREAT the Chinese in Malaysia would not have to suffer for 2 generations since Merdeka in terms of education which is a basic necessity as a human being. They can’t even protect this basic need. What else on others?
The worst part is they can’t even protect the growth of the Chinese talents and potentials in Malaysia due to discrimination of opportunies.
Their leader, Tan Kwoon Suan, had been jailed in Singapore before. I have heard of GREAT (not pariah) leaders being jailed by the tyrant and dictator but not because of breach of trust. MCA did.

Why the Special rights on education quotas and governemnt tenders are only limited to Bumis and Bumi run companies?.
Why is this NEP which is suppose to eradicate poverty in Malaysia only help the Malays whether they are rich or poor( Race based)?.
Why the poor Chinese and Indians not given any special rights and I thought the NEP is suppose to help the poor?.

It is the condition of the food, stupid. Yes, hard-boiled egg, cucumber and KFC can be equivalent to dog if the condition of the food is not fit for human consumption.
After visiting her in ISA detention center her parents said she looked very pale and weak due to the unhygienic food that has caused her to suffer from diarrhoea and her blood pressure had dropped.

But the egg was accidentally drop on the floor with shit on it, still good to eat, for the dog I mean. Oh….Melurian…care to join my dog?
Pls don play up with the words, when someone say dog food, it means a lot. In this Teresa’s case, she was just telling ppl the food was bad, not suitable for ppl, but suitable for dog. Thus, dog food. Still want my KFC or eggs, Melurian?? :)

There was a great brain doctor in town who could by interviewing and asking questions of a person place a monetary value on the brain of that person. Many people went to see him. The average score was between 500 to 1000 ringgit. It was rumoured that Uncle Lim’s brain was valued at 30 ringgit. Most of the commentators in this blog were given values between 50 to 800 ringgit. Melurian’s brain was given a value of 3800 ringgit and when he was asked why his brain monetary value was much higher than the rest, Melurian with a little shyness said softly that mungkin otak ku lebih baik daripada yang lain. The dosctor told him that Melurian was wrong and that his brain was given a very high monetary value because it was new and had never been used.
No need to entertain any non-thinking “UMNO operative” here. They just don’t use their brains. Even if they have one.

this is real racist statement, do the malaysian chinese have inadequate education ? do they have high “uneducated” rate among them ? got statistic to back this up ? do current gov hold back malaysian chinese talent and potential and growth, wasn;t it recently lee chong wei won silver medal from olympic. i guess some ppl think silver medal is not “talented” enuf so….. even in sgpura, they are some voicing that they are lack of talent too ?! do sgpura got eistein, moore, gates, and zuckerberg (notice some of them are jews). if got no talent, don blame other ppl (gov) for not being able to produce talent among certain “race”. it’s yr gene and upbringing to blame with…..
